We are excited to announce Indiana Commission for Higher Education has given its final approval to the Master of Science Program in Economics and Data Science at IU Bloomington. This degree will be offered in collaboration between the Department of Economics and the Luddy School of Informatics Data Science Program. It will provide students depth and breadth of knowledge and combined skills in both subjects. The demand for economists with strong computational skills and for data scientists with a deep understanding of economics is high and increasing.
